Technical Coding Behavioral
Had an initial screening call, then some online verbal and numerical tests. After that, it was a panel interview with 3-4 managers. Finally, they extended an offer to me. The whole thing took a couple months. It wasn't super hard, just really slow. Spent a lot of time just waiting around.

Technical Behavioral
The process was very good, the people conducting the interviews were great. However, there was no feedback. The last interview was with the finance director, and after that, I didn't hear back, nor did I have any contact with the consulting firm that mediated the process. It was quite frustrating!

Behavioral Technical Coding
The interview process had one initial phone call and then 3 technical rounds during the college day for the networks role. They asked stuff like what is DNS, how to find your computer's IP, and resume questions on the first call. The first round had two easy coding questions (2 Sum, Palindrome) and one medium one (No of Islands). Round two covered DBMS, SQL, Linux, and Networking. The third round was mostly about networks, Linux, and resume points. It wasn't too tough if you knew the basics. They let us know the results about a month later.

Behavioral Technical Coding
So after the initial screen, there was a behavioral round where the interviewer asked me some basic stuff about me, like and dislikes, and also explained the role expectations. Then I had an in-person interview at HUGHES office. This was a mix of technical and behavioral, and it lasted for about 3.5-4 hours with 3 interviewers. They asked me about my resume, my past experiences, gave me a 'tell me about a time' question, asked about basic network communication, a coding question, and then I got to ask them my questions about the company and the position.
